The rock cycle has been the subject of study for many years. A key component to the rock cycle is the mechanical and chemical erosion of rocks. In this kit students will learn about the rock cycle and the significance of certain types of erosion. This kit also provides an opportunity for students to investigate acid rain and other environmental factors that can be influenced by human actions. Also included is a demonstration that will help students visualize the freezing and thawing action of water on rocks. With multiple activities, this is a kit that is sure to keep students engaged throughout the whole experiment.
